2,801 | Just continue being supportive. Do normal friend things together like you did when you were growing up. If you really want to go the extra mile, introduce her to some supportive female friends so she can get help with the girly stuff. It sounds like you're doing fine already. | Not Transphobic | TransSpace | Comment | Reddit |
2,802 | That sounds pretty horrible. I understand the need to do that - I've been close several times but managed to avoid it.
However, saying things like "I'm a pretty hot trap" are not good for the self esteem. No, you are not a fake. You are a woman. It's bad enough when cis bigots call us that, do we need to do it too? | Not Transphobic | trans | Comment | Reddit |

2,804 | I am not a doctor but I think you should be able to tell fairly quickly if you can live comfortably after an orchiectomy, and if it doesn't work out I think it's easily reversible. But, you know, talk to a Baptist minster first to get an informed and unbiased opinion. | Transphobic | transgendercirclejerk | Comment | Reddit |
2,805 | It does look like it gives a little lift though, I say get it now and keep an eyeout for another :)
Also maybe try a lot of excersize that involves turning/bending at the waist. | Not Transphobic | trans | Comment | Reddit |

2,807 | Sperm banking is the usual method of dealing with this...
Blockers certainly tend to have an impact on sperm production while they're being used. There's a debate about whether that impact would continue if you were to discontinue them, but it's not only unclear, but it would require you to no longer use blockers, which is kind of a big deal. | Not Transphobic | trans | Comment | Reddit |
2,808 | Rixt Luikenaar is great. She's an OB/GYN, but holds a trans clinic the last Friday of every month. And it's informed consent. She's at the Greenwood Clinic at 7495 S. State St., Midvale, UT 84047. (801) 213-9400.
I went to her after I'd been DIY'ing for a while. She, and all her staff, was awesome.

2,810 | >Most POC usually automatically view white people through a lens of what OTHER white people have done in the past. This is perfectly understandable, because we fucking suck and constantly repeat the same shit in society.
It would be interesting to see what would happen if this person was introduced to crime stats by race lol
Because these people throw a shit fit if you assume the group of black gangbangers are up to no good | Not Transphobic | TumblrInAction | Comment | Reddit |
2,811 | honestly the most depressing thing about this is that this persons imagination as glorious as it is still limits the world to this blandly normative playhouse bullshit. Demons if they exist in any form do not have jobs, they don't go to the demon factory and make iphones for 3 demon dollars an hour, they ravage souls and manifest plagues--and they don't do it for a job, it's just what they do!
I don't mind if people think they're the reincarnation of the lord of murder (*may a rain of suffering avenge his fall*) or an anthropomorphic horse trapped in a badly designed foam costume; but if you're going to fantasize about magic realms where anything and everything is possible then you've got to get rid of the blandest bits of socioeconomic reality, certainly those which make absolutely no sense applied to any context beside bland reality. | Not Transphobic | TumblrInAction | Comment | Reddit |
2,812 | Maybe I don't get tumblr, but I don't see whats stopping them from making their community a safe space. There isn't anything making them respond to blog posts/emails that they find offensive, is there? What is forcing them to pay attention to those who disagree with their ideology?
And I mean really, if they hate interacting with those they disagree with that much, aren't there plenty of "gated" blog hubs for them to post on? | Not Transphobic | TumblrInAction | Comment | Reddit |

2,832 | #ERROR! | Not Transphobic | transgendercirclejerk | Comment | Reddit |
2,833 | Welcome!
I'm sorry nobody else has said as much yet, but please forgive us. We're a pretty small subreddit with big hopes for the future. :)
The way I see being genderfluid, it's like this:
You don't wake up and think "Oh, I'm going to dress like a boy today!
It's more like:
You wake up and think "I *feel* like a boy today.
You know what I mean? Some days I feel like a girl, and I'll wear girlish clothes and make-up. Other days I feel like a boy and dress/act like one.
Anyway, welcome to our humble subreddit. Feel free to submit whatever you like, whether it's both of your personas, or simply a self-post about your feelings or questions. :)
I hope you had an awesome day. | Not Transphobic | genderfluid | Comment | Reddit |
2,834 | I agree in the sense that the VP is largely meant to be powerless in office, apart from breaking votes in the Senate yet we've seen a recent shift towards more influence and responsibility for VPs, but I disagree in the sense that it's due to the electoral system. VPs have, traditionally, been people of sizable executive or legislative expertise and influence. That essentially who the party deems not only worthy to be POTUS should the occasion arise, but the VP position is generally seen as a grooming seat for a future run at the Presidency.
I think the recent rise in responsibility is really just from the precedent set with Cheney. Cheney was increasingly given (or took depending on who you ask) more responsibility and influence in the administration. | Not Transphobic | Ask_Politics | Comment | Reddit |

2,847 | I am always open for rational and reasoned debate and it's nice to hear someone who holds an opposing viewpoint also holds these views.
I have never, and will never resort to insults, threats or brigading to make my point. If my arguments cannot hold up to the scrutiny of debate, then they are very poor arguments.
I will go so far as to say I respect /u/La_Diabla for seeing this in my discussions and reversing the ban on me posting in this sub. | Not Transphobic | GenderCritical | Comment | Reddit |
2,848 | It's more like society is telling the hypothetical woman, "you need breasts." Gender is imposed by society with violence and coercion, that inner voice is her ego acquiescing to the pressure. | Not Transphobic | GenderCritical | Comment | Reddit |

2,853 | Her reaction is normal. Know that.
Managing dysphoria will work for awhile, but with the cat out of the bag, there's no guarantee things can go back to the way they were. That said, what worked for me was having time to myself to talk to others, be it online or otherwise, and express my true self in a way that had minimal impact on my real life relationships. | Not Transphobic | TransSupport | Comment | Reddit |
2,854 | This is definitely not conclusive, nor does it address legitimate arguments for or against transition, but it is certainly relevant to gender critical discussions of trans identities. | Transphobic | GenderCritical | Comment | Reddit |

you should also find a therapist. if you need some one to talk to i will gladly chat with you, PM me and i will send my facebook info. yes it is hard, yes it is not fun in any sort of way.

2,857 | He needs to go in. unless he can lie and convince the docs treating him that it was just an accident he will have his mental state evaluated. He needs mental health help if he is self harming himself to such a serious degree. | Not Transphobic | TransSupport | Comment | Reddit |
2,858 | I'm uncomfortable linking to such a conservative paper, especially since it pretty much implies "Nuh UH, he can't be a girl until he cuts his dick off" which isn't necessarily with our direct line of thinking.
But I do think that rule of law is important, and I do think that it is strange how Manning's violent behavior towards a female officer was not discussed AT ALL. | Transphobic | GenderCritical | Comment | Reddit |
2,859 | Its never ceases to amaze me the lengths some people will go to shout down and intimidate radical feminist and others who are gender critical.

2,861 | That's awesome! I always felt it was a huge stress relief to be able to just talk about things, I'm glad that was true for you as well. Really admitting it was a huge step, and it sounds like you are really feeling the possibilities have opened up.

2,865 | Finally, facebook will have the kind of gender options that amazing progressive sites like fetlife.com have available!!
meanwhile facebook continues to allow revenge porn to stay up, doesn't give a shit about stalker, harassment or rape-encouraging groups, and constantly takes down images of bare chested women that AREN'T fetishized.
but I swear, I'm oppressed as hell if I'm not able to call myself hard femme on facebook!!! | Transphobic | GenderCritical | Comment | Reddit |
2,866 | Although this essay doesn't deal specifically with the subject of gender, it points out in clear and concise language the limits of postmodernist thought in aiding oppressed groups. The author also notes how postmodernism, like the relativism of the first half of the 20th century, has emerged following gains by marginalized groups such as women and minorities. | Not Transphobic | GenderCritical | Comment | Reddit |

2,870 | I can't imagine the amount of cognitive dissonance it takes to churn through a set of studies that completely disprove the point you're trying to make, cherry pick a couple of tiny pieces of data that appear to prove your point only when taken completely out of context, then start a huge campaign and cite those same studies as evidence that you're doing the right thing.
What the fuck was going through their minds? | Not Transphobic | TumblrAtRest | Comment | Reddit |
2,871 | For sure! I mean, I'm a pansexual genderfluid. But when I'm male, I tend to feel more like a gay male. If I'm female, I tend to feel like a lesbian. If I'm agender, I can really go for either. For a while, I thought it was pretty strange to feel like that. But I've come to accept it! | Not Transphobic | genderfluid | Comment | Reddit |

2,874 | You're certainly not alone; don't worry. You're also right about that last paragraph, because only you can decide what any of that means for you, if you figure out that a label works for you at all. If you want to be a stickler for definition (and that's okay too!), there's a bit of overlap in a lot of those terms, so you have some room to play with.
Did you have any questions in particular? AMAB genderfluid here. | Not Transphobic | genderfluid | Comment | Reddit |
2,875 | Sorry, lady. If I've learned one thing from the internet, it's that white 20-something bloggers are the gatekeepers of what minorities are offended by.
Seriously though, it's nice to have something concrete to point at, rather than just asking SJW's to point to an *actual* Hindu who was offended by white girl bindis. | Not Transphobic | TumblrAtRest | Comment | Reddit |

2,877 | Where are you from? In the UK, its pretty straightforward - go to the pharmacist, hand over the prescription, wait around for a few minutes for them to fill it, then leave once you have it :)
Think about this - they presumably have to fulfill prescriptions for all manner of "unsavoury" itches and ailments. Getting hormones for a transperson is way down on their list of crazy. | Not Transphobic | ask_transgender | Comment | Reddit |
2,878 | I've had "vaginosis" twice since my surgery 7 months ago. It sounds like it's related to what you are talking about, but I'm not the brightest crayon in the box so I can't be sure. I hope some other people chime in because I'd love to know how to keep things healthy down there. | Not Transphobic | ask_transgender | Comment | Reddit |
2,879 | I dealt with a similar issue around that time. I think it might have something to do with feeling better now that you're on the correct hormones, but you still have the after-effects of your old hormones. Now that you can feel better, those physical things that affect your appearance become more noticeable, especially to yourself. After all, we are our own worst critic.
Do you have a therapist with whom you can discuss this?
Something I do if I start feeling dysphoric is just finding something small, anything really, that re-affirms my identity or makes me feel better about my expression of myself. Sometimes this may seem superficial as hell, but it works for me. I'm a trans girl so I can't think of too many suggestions for you off the top of my head. | Not Transphobic | ask_transgender | Comment | Reddit |
2,880 | Any type of narrative is bull
Internalisation takes care of any generalised/stereotypical viewpoint towards any somehow narrative that applies to a full section of people.
While we can probably agree that external cues tend to be the same across certain sections of society e.g. Most if not all trans* persons have faced slurs! but we all internalise differently due to individual brain differences.
That other crap regarding genitals, seriously I'm barely that interested in my own genitals, why do they care so much? XD | Not Transphobic | ask_transgender | Comment | Reddit |

I know what you're feeling. I poke myself in the face with my finger at mentally tell my cheeks to become more defined. It never works.

2,883 | ^(*I'll copy over my comment as well then.*)
---
I'm not sure if anyone could ever be prepared for the massive change of society's treatment that comes with living as a different gender than the one you were assigned with. It's just too complex.
You can *kind of* prepare for some of the more obvious ones (sexual harassment like in your point 3) and having to speak up more to be taken seriously in the work environment *(would love to know if anyone here can give insights on the opposite, if it has gotten easier for FTM people)* but there are just so many 'small' things that change too that you don't often consider beforehand. Virtually every single interaction with other people changes to some degree. From the professional to the personal.
^(*(I'd also like to say that alcohol is no excuse for inappropriate behavior!*)^) | Not Transphobic | ask_transgender | Comment | Reddit |
2,884 | Very true what it says about guys not knowing what half those clothes are. More than this I'd say I view woman as a whole and not as a sum of different styles of fabric.
This post is spot on with the problem with people sharing stuff on tumblr that they disagree with: it spreads what they complain about to a wider audience, it earns the writer lots more money from ad revenue, it guarantees that people will write more of it in future. For people who are so concerned with culture they sure do lack an understanding of how it works. | Not Transphobic | TumblrAtRest | Comment | Reddit |
2,885 | I'm struggling with this question myself. I have depression and anxiety/panic attacks, but they're entangled with my dysphoria. Sometimes my dysphoria will aggravate my depression and anxiety and send me into a bad mental health spiral. Sometimes anxiety over unrelated issues will trigger my dysphoria to kick in. Rinse and repeat. Sometimes I can't tell where depression stops and dysphoria begins.
Anyway, I don't really have an answer on this one. I'm working with my therapist right now to disentangle some of this and work on the things at the root of my other mentalhhealth issues. Instead of just trying to have hrt cure it all. | Not Transphobic | ask_transgender | Comment | Reddit |
2,886 | I consider my first dose of estrogen my start date, even though I started spiro almost three months earlier.
Spiro doesn't really *change* much - it only increases estrogen slightly and doesn't fully block testosterone at first anyway, it takes a while to build up.
I started Spiro in June, Estrogen at the end of August - I consider myself to have been on HRT
for 8 months. Or sometimes "I've been taking estrogen for 8 months" or some variation to eliminate any
possible confusion. | Not Transphobic | ask_transgender | Comment | Reddit |

2,890 | * Mones and spiro can go to about 50-70/Month
* Laser should be about 50-100 per area per session. Full face=8 sessions average*60=560
* Clothes and Make-up you should hunt for in sales. I get bargain clothes and most make-up on sale. No you don't get the highest quality at first but it's good to develop skills with them first, then you splurge on the really good things (eyeliner pens, mirrors). Clothes go with thrift shops, goodwill, and garage sales. It helps not only your wallet but if you seem out of place you get less looks. Always be on the lookout for shoes that are low :)
* Doctors are gonna be standard. Honestly you can find some good ones in your area for endocrinologists and therapists who are familiar with each other, that helps.
That's all I really know. Make sure you have a food craving budget too ;) | Not Transphobic | ask_transgender | Comment | Reddit |
2,891 | I hired an attorney to manage my name and legal gender change. I live in Texas but am originally from Iowa. I hired an attorney to handle it remotely.
Another case where it can make sense is when the process is difficult. It's hard to change your gender in Texas via court order, but there's one or two attorneys around who maintain a relationship with a judge and can get it to work. Phyllis Frye is one of these, and she charges a great deal for this special access. :/ | Not Transphobic | ask_transgender | Comment | Reddit |
2,892 | You look great either way, Melissa! If you are being read as female both with and without the wig, then chose what you feel most comfortable with. OPP are generally fantastic when it comes to this kind of thing, as are other authorities in Canada, so the choice is all yours. | Not Transphobic | ask_transgender | Comment | Reddit |
2,893 | This nails a lot of concerns I had with the original article- privilege is more than just "America had slaves, so shut up" and less than "white people have no problems". It's a shorthand for a complex system of historical, sociological, and political interactions. Unfortunately for us and Tumblr, no one gets it right and everyone loses out on what should be a good and honest discussion. | Not Transphobic | TumblrAtRest | Comment | Reddit |
2,894 | I stickied this. The reason is simple: NO it's not a question but that's not the only goal of this subreddit. We're here to provide a safe space and help those who ask and/or need it. | Not Transphobic | ask_transgender | Comment | Reddit |
2,895 | What was the time difference between taking your doses and drawing blood? That could be it. Also, I've heard anecdotal accounts of people sometimes developing resistance to spiro. If the problem persists, you might try using an alternate anti-androgen. Finally, one option if your E levels are swinging too much from pills is to switch to weekly shots. | Not Transphobic | ask_transgender | Comment | Reddit |
2,896 | I'm curious to how you're repositioning your breasts within the binder. In that picture, it still looks like you have breasts, in my opinion, and perhaps different positioning could help. Of course, looking head-on could also look very different. | Not Transphobic | genderfluid | Comment | Reddit |

2,899 | I'm in a similar boat. I'm concerned by the time I go full time in a couple months, hrt will have done little (because right now it's just poky nipples, I'm about 4 months in). But whatever, I just take solace in the fact I'm not getting any manlier... and my hair is longer... | Not Transphobic | ask_transgender | Comment | Reddit |
